Lower
Colorado River Authority Territory Mapping Survey
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) contracted with Loomis
Partners to perform a complete territory mapping survey of the
golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) on the Wheless
Preserve during the 2002 breeding season. Primary objectives of this
study were to provide updated data on warbler territories on the
entire Wheless Preserve and on the two 100-acre census plots
designated as prime habitat and transitional habitat. Secondary
objectives were to obtain data on warbler reproduction and on the
occurrence on the property of brown-headed cowbirds, invasive plant
species and rare plant species. The Wheless Preserve is a part of
the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.
